When is SBRT appropriate for patients with
T1-2, N0 NSCLC who are medically operable?
Statement
Consensus
Any patient should be evaluated by a thoracic surgeon, preferably
in a multidisciplinary setting.
100%
For patients with “standard operative risk” (ie, with anticipated
operative mortality of <1.5%) and stage I NSCLC, SBRT is not
recommended as an alternative to surgery outside of a clinical trial.
Discussions about SBRT are appropriate, with the disclosure that
long-term outcomes with SBRT N3 years are not well established.
94%
For patients with “high operative risk” (ie, those who cannot tolerate
lobectomy, but are candidates for sublobar resection) stage I
NSCLC, discussions about SBRT as a potential alternative to
surgery are encouraged.
